Q: Do egress windows open in or out?

• <div><p>Most modern egress windows installed in basements open outward into a window well, although some older homes have in-swing windows. Egress windows, like casement windows used in other parts of the home, such as bedrooms and bathrooms, may open inward, and these windows are often larger than outward-opening windows. </p></div>

Q: Does an egress window weaken the foundation?

• <div><p>If improperly installed, an egress window can compromise your foundation&rsquo;s structural integrity, so it&rsquo;s important to work with a pro to ensure your foundation remains in good shape. Any money you may save on a DIY egress window installation may cost you in the long run if your foundation is damaged in the process.</p></div>

Q: Are egress windows required?

• <div><p>Egress windows are typically required for basements with habitable space or living quarters. Not all basements or lower levels require egress windows. However, egress windows are required in homes with living spaces such as bedrooms and living rooms in a basement. The International Residential Code and International Building Code require sleeping rooms to have a specific size egress window. Check your local building codes to confirm the requirements in your area.</p></div>

Q: Does it take long to install an egress window?

• <div><p>The installation process for your egress window project will span three days for three stages. On day one, excavation will occur. Day two involves cutting the foundation, and day three will focus on window installation and insulation. Remember that the number of windows you install will impact the days needed. Additionally, you may want a couple of helpers to help you speed through day one.</p></div>

Q: What is the proper way to install a window well?

• <div><p>The proper way to install a window well is to measure the window, dig a hole deeper and wider than the window, place a drainage tube and cap, anchor the well to the foundation, caulk the seam, and backfill the hole. The job requires tools such as a hammer drill and auger and some heavy digging. Proper placement and window well installation are critical to preventing water from leaking into the window.</p></div>
